About Me

CURRENT MISSION

In search of everlasting peace and happiness, and unconditional love.. I think they call this enlightenment.

ABOUT ME

I Heart India. I just got back from the motherland. It was wonderful and I'll tell you all about it sometime.

I love basking in the California sun and being outside! I'm active and love to bike, hike, dance, go to concerts and other performances, art galleries, and of course meet new people. But I also LOVE to just chill out and bum around. It's all about balance.

I was on the East Coast for a long time, studying and working there. I love the East. It's dynamic and vibrant, but now it was time for me to come home back to LA where people take the time to breath and enjoy life.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to find everlasting peace and happiness within, and help others do the same.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to Rwanda where I saw women deliver their babies by kerosene lantern, witnessed a Cesarian section of a still born baby then brought back to life by doctors, and a 20 year old man get a circumcision!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
Still working on this one..

Learn:
Local culture! I travel to learn about how other people live and what connects us all. So I'd love to see what the day to day life is like where you live.

Guitar! I just picked it up a few weeks ago and love playing. Can anyone teach me some new songs?
